Selected Poems

by Peter Finch

Finch, a leading linguistic innovator and sound poet, takes the 'form' of poetry to the limits of its definition. From the sensuous care in linear form of 'nightblat' to the sculpture-poem 'boom structure', from typescript poems to a shrewd parody of Dylan Thomas, here is a record of exploration and discovery, surprising, intriguing, and humorous.
